Φοῖνιξ

Once a phoenix starts a journey
Starts the journey of his life
From the ashes resurrected
Wraps the journey and then dies

In between, there lies a phoenix
Like a man who lost his love
Phoenix carries all the memory
Of the thousand years he lived

Lies the phoenix, cries the phoenix
Of the loved one who has died
Of the loved one, sings the phoenix,
Songs of days and nights gone by

Sees the phoenix, tries the phoenix
Sees its death and tries to win
Burns the phoenix, dies the phoenix
Dies an honored death of pain

Then the phoenix, resurrected
Tries to think of his gone love
Of the phoenix, thinks no phoenix
And the cycle continues…
